About the Artist
Sketch event at Polo Ralph Lauren, 2023
Welcome and thank you for visiting! My name is Jenny and I am a California-based artist and live event illustrator working in both traditional and digital media.
As a Live Event Illustrator I am available for portrait, pet, and figure sketching at parties, weddings, birthdays, and corporate events both locally and nationwide.
As a painter I’ve worked with clients worldwide on commission projects ranging from portraits to murals to illustration and character design.
My favorite projects involve nature and the human form, and finding ways to remix the two. Stylistically, I am in love with the bold line, texture, and color traditions of animation, comics, and murals, and aim for work with similar high contrast.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“We had the most amazing experience with Jenny. This was our second time hiring her. She was super communicative, came early to set up, and did a fantastic job. She makes beautiful caricature drawings, and is so kind. I’d definitely recommend her.”
“Jenny was super communicative, arrived right on time and had every thing set up efficiently and even lended us a helping hand with our event set up. Everyone’s drawings came out amazing and we enjoyed having her there! Can’t wait to book with her for future events.”
“Jenny was EXCELLENT! We had an end of year Carnival style Family Fun Night for our elementary school and she was perfect. Caricaturing was 100% a student & parent favorite! Jenny communicated with me the entire time, was punctual and very professional! Kids & Parents loved the awesome work she did, and how friendly she was. Will absolutely hire her back for our next annual event! Thank you Jenny!!”
“We had a great experience with Jenny. She was very organized and communicative and everyone was really happy with her services. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Jenny was wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond and professional. Everyone loved their portraits, and she even drew a group portrait at the end without us knowing. It turned out amazing! Needless to say, you need to hire Jenny for your next event. :)”
“Just threw my kids sibling birthday party and Jenny made everything so special. Not only were her portraits AMAZING but she has to be one of the most kindest people i have ever met! At the party parents kept coming up to me after their portraits, to tell me how nice and talented she was. Also when she first arrived (early I may add, to set up - which i was super impressed with!) my daughter went up to her totally interested in all her drawing materials and she took the time to sit with my daughter and draw and chat with her. I totally whole heartedly, 100% recommend Jenny for portraits. She is so incredible and we all felt lucky to have met her.”
“[Jenny] was the best addition to our party! . . . She asked each person what they felt comfortable with before she drew them. She also drew special requests . . . She even drew a picture in memory of my Dad. . . I would absolutely hire her again! She was so easy to work with, friendly, funny, accommodating, and she has incredible art skills . . . Thanks again Jenny!”
“Jenny’s artwork was stunning! She was a key part in our event being a huge success!”
“Words cannot express how talented and professional Jenny is! She turned a blank canvas - a Little Free Library - into a thoughtful, vibrant and inviting tribute to my past and present furry family members . . . From start to finish, Jenny was collaborative in the design process . . . She was a pleasure to work with and I am fortunate enough to be using Jenny on another project which is going equally as well . . . The day Jenny delivered the library, I literally cried. It was exactly what I wanted and a touching tribute to my pet family.”
